Not Very Durable
My 3 month old puppy, who only weighs 9 pounds, broke through the zipper of this crate the second time that I put him in it, which leads me to believe that it is not durable at all. It is an expensive crate that can't even serve it's purpose with a 9 pound puppy.

Super travel option!
This is a great travel crate. I got the XL size for my 80 lb. labradoodle and it is just the right size. I wouldn't suggest it for a dog bigger than that. It is easy to set up, lightweight but sturdy, and folds flat for storage. Definitely worth the price. Best part was that I needed it in 2 days and Frontgate got it shipped immediately to me. They are the best!

Zippers broke
I loved the look and idea of this crate. Initially, we were happy but, my 5 month old standard poodle easily bit through two zippers in a matter of 1.5 months. Bummer. Clearly, the zipper piece needs to be upgraded for pets and this is not a dog that is going around our home destroying things.

Wonderful Travel Crate
This Crate is easy and quick to assemble and just as easy and compact to store. Our beagle does not like riding in the car, but this allows her to ride comfortably and safely. She also enjoys having it as her home away from home when she travels. It is sturdy and easy to keep clean. It is also both prettier and lighter than most travel crates.

Better Fit for Home versus Car
I ordered this product in two sizes because they are taller than the plastic carriers so my dogs will feel less claustrophobic. I placed orthopedic pads (made by Nature's Miracle) inside and the crates make for very comfy beds. This product is easy to assemble and very lightweight which means it would be perfect for home or hotel situations. There is no way to strap or anchor this crate to the car seats or seat belts so this crate does not provide much safety for the pet while in a moving vehicle.

My dog loves it but...
I have used this crate for my 8 lb dog for 2 months. He loves it and goes in it to sleep all the time. It is very easy to take up and down. The problem started when his nail got caught in the mesh door and made a small hole. I went out to dinner last night and when I returned he was out of the crate. The hole is now big enough for him to go through it. I would not recommend this if you think your dog will scratch at the mesh at all because once it gets a small tear it will easily tear more.

Wonderful portable transportation
I was looking for a portable crate to bring our two dogs to our summer home and these crates were just the answer. We bought 2 of the size large which fit perfectly side by side in our suburban They turned out to be exactly as described. They were so easy to put together and the fact that they store flat is really convenient since we use the beautiful Frongate mahagony crates inside our homes.
Thank you Frontgate! I can almost always find a product that fits whatever we are looking for.

Wonderful soft sided portable dog crate:now 3
This crate is most helpful and enjoyable to use from puppy size to a 50Lb dog. The convenience is
remarkable and very easy to use. Added features are the many openings' that I found to be under estimated when purchasing. Hopefully, you would be as pleased as I am ..now into the third size..using one for travel. Thanks Frontgate!

Earthquake/Flood/Fire Animal Safety
During a neighborhood evacuation drill, we were advised by the local humane society to purchase these portable crates for our two dogs. They said that if there was ever a catastrophic event, having the portable crates would enable us to bring our dogs with us to an emergency shelter.
That's good enough reason for me to make the investment! We had the traditional crates, but I would have never thought to buy these.

withstands scratching and pawing
Our new puppy had long nails for awhile and clawed at the crate a few times. To my surprise, no holes! Durable and looks great.

Well designed crate
I was looking for a portable dog crate that would take up little room in the car and be super-easy to use. This is it! It literally pops into place in two easy steps and like all Frontgate things, its beautifully made. Definitely worth the price.

class by itself
A great house for your dog, the dogs are so comfortable,it's their own space.
I leave the smaller front door unzipped but down & they go in to sleep or just hang out.
We have tried other soft crates...they broke easily & were hard to open & close.
Nothing compares. ;*)

Love this crate!
Bought this for a road trip and just love it. So easy to carry in and out of a motel or someone's home. Seems to be good quality, but our dog is a small, well mannered terrior who is past puppyhood.

Great Product!!
What a nice bed this is! Easy setup; good quality. My puppy loves it and I am looking forward to using it as a travel bed because it is lightweight and easy to setup/knockdown.

To ensure that your dog has enough room, we recommend that you first measure your dog at shoulder and their full length and compare to the dimensions of each crate. Most likely the Large or Extra Large will be the best fit.

We appreciate your interest in this item. A Havanese is typically a smaller dog, which when full grown will weigh between 10-16 lb and stand 8-12 inches tall. Depending on the exact size of your dog, we would recommend either the x-small or small size crate - depending on which would give your dog the ability to stand up completely.

We appreciate your interest in this item. This item can be used as an everyday dog crate. It does not feature any type of padding on the bottom so it would depend on your pet and personal preference if a soft bed was needed.
